Central Arizona College has professional academic advisors whose primary role is to help you make choices about career/life planning, explore degrees/programs that best align with your career goals, and examine how the personal choices you make impact your educational and career plans.

Central Arizona College does not currently require academic advising for all students; however, students are encouraged to seek advising on a regular basis (twice a semester).

Appointments are strongly encouraged for in-depth advising. Advisors are also available on a walk-in basis for quick questions. We will make every effort to accommodate walk-ins. However, during high volume periods, students with advising appointments will have priority. Please note that during peak registration times, advisors may only be available by walk-in.

deciding upon/or changing a major program of study

choosing appropriate courses and/or planning a course sequence
